    There is no difference whatsoever it's only a dye.

    Here you go Blackwater,

    This is the reply I got from C.C.I.

    Thank you for you'r query Bob,
    CCI, Federal, Winchester, Remington and Hornady all loaded here at CCI in Lewiston, Idaho with a V-max bullet are identical, with the exception of tip color. Manufactured on the same equip, to the same ballistic specs, using the same components other than color of the tip of the bullets. Obviously the shellcase 'head stamp' and packaging would be different on the various products.
